Because I'm picky. I ruled out OracleTool because it's web-based. While it may be an advantage at times (don't need to install on every machine I use), it's a whole number of layers I don't want to troubleshoot when in Crisis Mode.
OraC is pretty cool. I looked at it when I got O'Reilly's Oracle and Open Source. It's nice, but not what I want/need. All I want is a tool that will allow the user, Me, to design and maintain system events and their respective metrics and thresholds and notify the user when those thresholds have been exceeded. We already have a few tools that do this, but they all have their drawbacks. OEM's drawbacks are that is doesn't notify us half of the time (and doesn't seem to have a mechanism to log notifications), and that it's custom interface is TCL (another language I don't want to have to learn to perform a single task). I also liked the "Jareds_tools" module... :D Rich Rich Jesse System/Database Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quad/Tech International, Sussex, WI USA p.s. I could have sworn I sent this out yesterday (Tuesday), but as I'm in the middle of a three-day PC rebuild (Winders bites!), I guess I'll take MS Lookout's word for it that I didn't. -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, January 28, 2003 11:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Jesse, Rich Importance: High > Also, on scant nights I've even been rolling my own KISS-method Perl/Tk OEM > replacement. Sorry Jared, but sometimes I like GUIs! :) Why? Look up OraC and OracleTool on google.
